CONSTRUCTION ENDS O F HEELS.-

Application filed June 26,

. Our invention relates to' the construction of the ends or heads of reels such emchines. v

The leading ob ect of urinvent10n1sthe provision of a removable steel head, or'

ployed in connection with cotton mill madisk designed to take the place of the castmetal head or disk in general and common use and which by experience has been found to become damaged" or broken and cause considerable inconvenience and expense.

"Another object of our invention is the production of a steel head or disk which will perform its functions in an eflicient and practical manner, which can be easilyv applied and removed when necessary, and which by reason of its durabillty Wlll prove a great saving 1n time, labor and expense,

and thus insure a desirable and practical d evice. v v To attain the desired objects, 0 r'in'vention consists vof a disk or head of the character and for the purpose stated embodying novel features of construction and combinationof parts, substantially as described and claimed and as shown drawing, in which:'

head or disk looking toward the inner face thereof.

comp'ete head or disk, and a portion of the" end of the shaft.

Fig. 3 representsaview in elevation of the head orjdisk taken from the outer facegand Fig. 4-. represents a sectional View of one end of thedisk, pulley wheel. and shaft.

Our invention is of the simplest possible construction and consists of the flat circular disk or head A, made of steel of the proper size, weight and thickness and formed with the opening 13, which receives the end of the hollow shaft or spindle C. which is formed with threaded sockets 7D, to receive the threaded bolts E, which also serve, to secure the belt or pulley wheel element F in posi-. tion, and which in connection with the rivet in the accompanying I i v v against the (llSlifil'lCl the end of the shaft;v Figure 1 represents an elevation of thev 1925. Serial No. 39,692.

fasteners G serves to make the complete structure) a According to. our invention. the shaft, the pulley head and the disk or hea'd'are connected, as 'shown in Fig. 4, to makes complete unit; anda strong'fand durable con struction is provided which at the same time will permit removal of the parts when found necessary, and by making the head or disk of steeland' the partsseparate weproi vide a device which :will overcome the ob jections "and defects; found to exist; in the presentcas't-metal structures, and insure {a practical, Y eliic ent v and time, labor (and money-saving improvement.

The member or element F may serve as" a pulley wheel, or abrake band, or as shown 'in'Fig'ure '3, may be provided with gearteeth H, and serve asa gear wheel, and perform, [its functionsin a practical manner under vall conditions.

l/Ve claim: 1'. The reel structure herein described conon the end. of said shaft, a head 'fittine;

fasteningsflconnecting the head to the shaft and separate fastening's connecting the head q to the disk,a flanged rim formed on said Fig. 2' represents a View in elevation ofthe head and a hol ow shaft nipple extending out from said head.

'2. The reel structure herein described consisting: of;: the hollow reel shaft ,havins'r against the disk and the endof the shaft.

fastenings connecting the head to the shaft and separate fastcnlngsconnecting the head to the disk, aflanged rim formed'on said head and holiow shaft nipple extending being formed with gear teeth. In testimony whereof: we hereunto affix our signatures.
